Reviews of the IBM Deskstar 75GXP 75 GB DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra)

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent performance; massive, 75GB capacity; three-year warranty.
The Bad: Pricey.
The Bottom Line: The fastest high-capacity, internal hard drive we've tested to date. If top performance is the object of your desire, the 75GXP is well worth the slight premium.
